Suffering Is Made of Peace

In this meditation we begin by establishing ourself as the open, empty, inherently peaceful presence of awareness. We then turn our attention to our experience of the body as it is naturally and effortlessly divested of concepts or images, leaving only the raw experience. Next we invite feelings of lack or suffering to come out of hiding. We find when we bring our suffering close, so close that we no longer know what it is, it is divested of its afflictive qualities and revealed as happiness itself.
